"GREENSBORO, NC — On Thursday, July 23rd
between 5-9pm, the grounds of Blandwood Mansion and Carriage House, 447 West
Washington Street in downtown Greensboro, will host their first showcase of bridal
vendors that will make your upcoming nuptials unique, creative and HISTORIC!
Entry to this event on the National
Historic Landmark site of Governor John Motley Morehead’s Blandwood is FREE and

The latest trend in weddings has been to

the romantic lines of recent historic movies and television dramas. Couples, their wedding party, families and
friends are invited to visit during the evening to experience the exceptional
local bridal vendors’ wares and items at this downtown historic landmark that
can make their upcoming events unique, personal and tailored to their dream
day! The show offers caterers’ sampling,
mock-tails, giveaways and drawings for items the prospective couple may want. Gift bags to participants will be given to
the first 100 guests!

shows that will specialize in showcasing our local vendors and highlight the
Blandwood Carriage House.”
